Many properties around Sydney and wider Sydney must meet Council DA approval requirements when building or renovating in bushfire prone areas.

Homeowners are often required to install BAL 40 rated bushfire security roller shutters to comply with BASIX.

Ital Shutters Pty Ltd source high quality CSIRO tested BAL 40 rated bushfire shutters for your project. If you choose to motorise your roller shutters, then a manual override system is a must. This will allow the roller shutters to be fully operational in the event of a power outage.

BAL stands for Bushfire Attack Level.

There are various BAL levels. They are:

BAL-LOW Lowest risk from a potential fire

BAL-12.5 Risk is primarily from potential embers during a fire

BAL-19 Moderate risk, particularly from embers and burning debris

BAL-29 High risk, particularly from embers, debris and heat

BAL-40 Very high risk. Likely to be impacted by embers, debris, heat and potentially flames

BAL-FZ Extreme risk. Directly exposed to the flames of a potential fire front

There are several reasons people want roller shutters. They vary from wanting additional insulation and protection from the weather, to shift workers wanting to completely darken a room or even to reduce traffic noise.

All those are valid reasons, but the most common enquiry to have aluminium roller shutters installed is purely to have additional security.

Many enquiries come just after someone’s home or business has been burgled or vandalised.

The customer is still quite shaken when we get the call and we at ITAL SHUTTERS understand that we must prioritise these enquiries.

We have also noticed a spike in security roller shutter enquires and installations lately due to the current COVID-19 Coronavirus situation.

When we took a closer look at the statistics, NSW has shown an average 8.3% rise in robberies to businesses in the last 24 months.

Some areas which have shown an increase in business related break-ins are Blacktown, The Hills District, Inner West, Nth Sydney and the City and Inner South.
